More Insights
Built in 1964 (61 years old).
Condition: Built in 1964, this property is explicitly marketed as needing 'sweat equity' and 'a little TLC,' which is evident throughout the images. The kitchen features very dated white flat-panel cabinets and laminate countertops, with no visible modern appliances. Bathrooms appear basic and original or very old, with older fixtures and tile. The entire unit has dark brown carpeting, popcorn ceilings, and relies on outdated wall-mounted AC units and a wall heater for climate control. The overall condition suggests substantial cosmetic and system rehabilitation is required to bring it to modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' category's criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with no major renovations in decades, requiring significant updates.
